To ad whom t may concern:

Be it knownthat we, CHARLES A.y PORT, J oHN E. ONEAL, and DoRAcE E. Mo'rz, citizens of the United States, and residentsv of Pagosa Springs, in the county of Archuleta and State of Colorado, have invented an improvement in Gasolene-Filters, of which just below the point where the glass cylinder the following is a specification'.

Our invention is an improvement-'in gasolene filters foruse with thecarbureters of gas motors, especially such as are used on automobiles.

The invention is embodied in the construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line 2-2 of Fig. l.

A indicates a gasolene receptacle which is constructed substantially like the receptacle shown and described in our companion application for Letters Patent for gasolene lter, Serial No. 672,036.v That is to say,

the receptacle A comprises a glass cylinder 1 whose upper end abuts a flanged head 2, and screw bolts 3 pass through this head, exteriorly of the cylinder 1, and are screwed into the upper annular edge of a water-receiver B, the same being provided with an internal shoulder 4 upon which the glass cylinder rests, suitable packing 5 being intrposed in order ,to insure a tight joint. A supplemental or auxiliary water receptacle C is detachably connected with the waterreceiver B, by means of-pipes 6, 7 a1f1 d.8l which are screwed together, and also by a pipe D which is arranged above the auX- iliary tank and also detachably connected with the water-receiver. The auxiliary tank C is located below and at one side of the water-receiver. A gasolene discharge pipe E passes up centrally through the bottom of the water-receiver B and is screw-threaded at that point, so that it may be adjusted higher or lower. The upper end of the pipe E reaches about the center of the glass cyl-l inder l, and is inclosed by a lter proper F, which, as in our former invention above referred to, is constructed of a rigid wire frame, a wire gauze screen for the same, and

a chamois covering applied outside the screen and secured at t-he lower edge of the lter to a collar attached to the pipe E. A

protector Fa is applied over thel filter F as filter F there is applied and secured a filter guard G which 1s constructed of sheet metal and made in the form of an inverted funnel; that 1s to say, the larger end of the truncated cone being lower,and arranged 1 is supported on the shoulder 4 of the water-rece1ver B. -The guard G being attached to the discharge tube E is adjustable vertically therewith and by such adjustment may. be brought nearer to or farther from the inner shoulder 5 of the water-holder B, so that it may be adjusted to close the annular passage more or less, as required t0- efi'etually prevent water splashing upward into the gasolene receptacle and thus` reaching the filter.l A jam nut 11a is applied to the threaded portion of the pipe E `for holding 1t fixed in any vertical adjustment.

lt will now be understood that gasolene delivered into the receptacle A through the feed pipe 11 discharges upon the protectorv Fa and gradually fills the receptacle, the water-receiver B, and the auxiliary tank C and the connecting pipe D. Said tank and pipe D are not used under ordinary conditions, but only in case the gasolene contains an unusual amount of water, and they, to wit, the parts C and D, are made easily detachable from the primary water-receiver B. It is obvious that the openings in the water-receiver B will be plugged when the tank C and pipe D 'are detached. When the tank C is used, water, owing toits gravity, willfirst accumulate therein and will crowd the gasolene up through the pipe D from which' it will discharge into the waterholder B and mingle with the general body of gasolene and thus find its way through the filter. The tank C is provided with a drain cock 12 for drawing oit water and sediment. A similar cock 13 is applied to the water-holder B. The gasolene receptacle A is provided at the top with an air valve 14.

What we claim is 1. In a gasolene filter, the combination with a gasolene receptacle and a water holder-arranged below and communicating therewith, of a gasolene filter and discharge pipe projecting upward into the gasolene receptacle, and an inverted funnel-shaped adjiist-lent, and a filter-guard atached to.

the pipe below the ilter,'its outer eiige 'being adacent to the said shoulder of the Water ho der, 'substantiall as describeda HARLES ifs. PUR?. JOHN E. NEL, A DORACE MTZ Witnesses:
